I would have had them for my Storm, but I see they're only for a 250cc bike :!: :cry: :lol:

No wonder they're brand new and unused, the seller was probably afraid to use them at that price :!:

Not often you see something like those up for sale 8O

Ridiculous price for everyman but when you consider how much it costs to run a GP team in parts, wages, hospitality, transport and RD-those are pittance.

In saying that, they would'nt look bad on a blingy 250 dream really :P :lol:

Considering it cost £11,000 everytime a GSE BSB Ducati hits the track (inc practice) I suppose 10K for a set of top quality forks isnt so bad :eek2

I agree with that JB :!:

It's a different world in the racing scene, especially when someone else picks up the tab for an off :wink:
